A Shadow’s Glow

In the dark lands, Senka, a being of shadow, spends his days as a mindless killing machine who extinguishes spirits of light that appear in his homeland. But one day, at the touch of an innocent, young spirit of light named Uri, he is awakened and realizes the gravity of his past actions. Vowing to help the young spirit return home the two then begin their journey towards the land of lights. However, the two must make their journey quickly, as being exposed to one another as light and shadow could see them both face their demise.
